Washington Septic Pumping Service Provides Septic Maintenance For Locals

By Lilia Slaybaugh


If you live in the Seattle area of Washington, your home could be on one of several types of sewage treating systems, and this depends on the age of the house. No matter what system your house utilizes it is important to keep it in good condition. Your Washington septic tank pumping company is the place to call when you need service.

Older homes in King County may have simple systems that hold between 750 and 950 gallons. If your house was built before 1980 your home's system should be pumped about every three years or so. This keeps it functioning properly so it has the right amount of sludge, water, and scum.

Many houses in the area are equipped with tanks that contain two separate compartments. These tanks should have maintenance every five years, but three year intervals are recommended. The larger the household the more frequent maintenance should be performed, especially if you have a dishwasher, as soap can be harmful to beneficial bacteria. Regular dual system maintenance should include filters also.

Pump tanks are common in many of the new homes today and they need regular maintenance. However, both compartments do not always require pumping, and a professional service can advise you on the best ways to maintain them. They provide regular inspections that can help you avoid pump problems in the coming years.

If you have no idea what type of system you own, it is important to call a professional service to your home. When tanks become full, it can place scum or sludge into the drain system and the drain field. This can stop up the drain field pipes, resulting in some very expensive repairs.

If your drainage system becomes laden with sludge, it may stop all the drains in your house from working. In addition, bacteria could back up inside of the home and contaminate kitchens and bathrooms. For service, you only need to contact your local septic company, and they will uncover the lids and take care of all maintenance.
